Warmup

The warmup prepares the body for the exercise that follows and is composed of both general and specific components. The general warmup incorporates a 1o-15 minute cardiorespiratory activity such as treadmill, cycling, elliptical trainer, followed by general stretching of major muscle groups of the body, particularly those of the shoulder, back and abdominal areas. The is followed by a warmup that is more activity specific and involves stretching of the specifc muscle groups that you will be using and followed by light sets of the first exercise of the activity you'll perform. This will help you practice the movement to follow thereby increasing your efficiency with heavier weights.
